A good dancer is an educated one, so dont abandon school.

It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top.

It's not about weight, it's about fitness, and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat, because fat is not very efficient, whereas muscle is.

You can't reduce lactic acid, but you can increase your tolerance to it. I do this through running or cycling, but it's a good idea to match your training bout to the type of dance you do.

I've always believed that the facts about dancing are more interesting than the myths, and this was a great chance for me to explore how the human body does such incredible things.

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case.

Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.
